Hope so. But this Swansea are in form, and I have my concern with Jose, he is not afraid to take the risk if necessary. If Costa is passed fit to play, I think Jose will start him, not thinking like "oh, he could play but he is just recovered, let's give him a rest".

I think he is too important to be dropped right now. If there is a chance he could play, I think he will still be a starter, and Remy as a sub.

'We had many mistakes in passing the ball and we failed to put the required pressure on our opponents but the defenders are not the only ones to be blamed,' Gharib said, reports ahramonline. 'The poor fitness of the players, especially Chelseas Mohamed Salah, is also a reason for the loss. The Egyptian league hasn't started yet and also Salah didnt play regularly with Chelsea. If Salah is off-form, Egypt's performance is always affected.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2747306/Chelsea-s-treatment-Mo-Salah-blame-defeat-says-Egypt-coach-losing-2-0-Mame-Biram-Diouf-inspired-Senegal.html

So Egypt coach blame us. Ok, it's all our fault Egypt losing to Senegal. I blame Real for Portugal defeat against Albania. I blame Eva for Gibraltar 0-7 defeat against Poland.

Neymar-keting

The wait is like forever.... It seems Ivan and Schurrle are really on fire at international level. Can't wait to see both playing vs Swansea.

Yup. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2746151/Diego-Costa-s-hamstring-injury-says-David-Silva.html

Messi, Ronaldo and Torres even if they are a striker or not, should be forbidden in any poll, cause they obviously will be on the top 3.

Feel kinda like toward Luiz now. As many has said, missed Luiz as a person, but not as a footballer. Almost, almost the same feeling with Torres at the moment. Also I missed the daily activity in here, especially the comments like, "I'm enough of this shit", "Torres is a cancer", "get out from my club", "missed another sitter!", "I could play better than him", "can't believe he is so shit", "why he is still here?", "can we buy his remaining contract?"

Did you guys still talk about Oscar here?

Agree completely

Lol, no activity in this thread for quite some time. Heard that he is playing quite well today. Good for him.

Now that Costa seems misfit in Spain heated up again. I know this is might be sensitive question, but do you guys think Costa will be a hit and could perform better at the current Brazil NT rather than at Spain NT? No insult please, just need a honest opinion. Thank you.

Anyway, I am expecting "Oscar is shit" comments here in matter of hours.

Fair enough, but as I said earlier, I didn't see any issue at all in Brazil dressing room after that. Well, I am as neutral here, I fully respected you guys perspective on this matter as Brazilians.

And I don't blame Del Bosque for this one. Costa is on fire, and it is natural he is picked to play against France. Would be strange if it doesn't.

This. I think it is not a serious one, hopefully. The good thing, he will get a whole week to recover. And hey, we buy Remy for this kind of situation, whom we expect will happening sooner or later.

Although I understand with the reason all Brazillians disappointed of Silva when penalties take place against Chile, do you think a captain, if he think he is mentally not ready to take a penalty should take it instead and risk the team? A strongest captain is still human afterall. And Scolari who made the decision anyway, and it turn out to be succesful and Brazil advanced. Job done, I think that should be no issue there. Or do you more appreciated him to do it, well realized he is not up to it and could missed and then Brazil might failed, rather than he admitted he is not ready to the manager, trusted the rest of team mates who is mentally more ready at that point, which one do you prefer? Well, I thought there is no issue afterall within the Brazil dressing room after that match. Silva do the right things after that match as a captain and lead the team to beat Colombia. About Luiz, yes no doubt he is a quite good as a FK taker, very aggresive going forward, etc. But he is, as you agree too, bad positioning, tactics, etc as a defender. Ok, might be harsh to call him terrible, but he is certainly not the best one as a defender. What do you mean 'because then we go into the "I know better than the transfer market/world/professionals" type of thing'? Why I get the impression you talk about 50 millions move to PSG, and the way you said it, let me ask this, do you think he is worthed 50 millions as a defender?

We have to put 200 millions release clause for Hazard as well, like Barca did with Messi.

Well said

Funny to read that you think Silva is crying babies. I thought he isn't. He showed he has a great attitude after Neymar injured and after Brazil lose to Germany. Neymar the one who I think is more like crying babies. As for Luiz, I am the one who hardly criticized him after Brazil defeat against Germany. Yes he might be terrible defender as a footballer, but he has a strong personality as a person. Yes they might be not among the best Brazil captains in history, but I think both are the best option at the moment in Brazil squad.

I hate an international break between league match. And much more hate the break between international break.

Love bird

Nice for him. Really deserve it. Now he must perform three times greater than before, no excuse
